23 Flower Path

Present:

"Redeem myself you say? And what makes you think I want to redeem myself?" Antonio asked, his expression said, 'I want to see you try' while his eyes said, 'watch your mouth.'

I gulped, I knew that Antonio wasn't going to take my hand as is, but this is an opportunity to change his fate. Besides, [how am I going to explain to him the whole reincarnation thing? He'd think I used black magic for all this to happen...And I'd rather not raise his suspicions any farther with how scary he is...] I averted my gaze deep in thought, Antonio frowned and gazed at the wide open window. Smiling at the nice breeze that seemed to calm him somehow. Maybe it was just his imagination but whenever he was near Louise he felt the effects of the curse go away, even if just for a small amount of time.

He wondered what would happen if he touched her, a grin faded onto his face as he just imagined it. But revoked the thought and decided to take Louise outside with him to the special place he'd visit when he was young. Before the Empress died of course, the current Empress, Miranda Aaliyah de Reandra, before was just a mere countess whose name was not even known. He sighed and turned to louise who seemed to be fixated on him and literally drooling in front of him.

He was shocked to the sight as louise flinched at the sudden meeting of his eyes, she cleared her throat and pointed outside. "Your highness, Would you like to go outside?" I asked anxious, I hope he doesn't mind my drooling. I mean his face is so perfect! How can a villain look so handsome and be evil at the same time?! This must be a crime! It's illegal I say! [If he's put in prison or killed, it should be on the charge of being so hot and handsome at the same time! Kyaa!]

"hehehe..."

[What's up with her?] whatever was on her mind worried the prince, because he knew it wasn't something that wouldn't cause trouble. He smiled at her weird expressions, which in fact seemed hungry and desperate sometimes, but aside from that he knew louise didn't have bad intentions. He wasn't necessarily worried about losing Louise to anyone, since she would be his bride in a few days, since it was cancelled a week ago because Louise thought there wouldn't be any time to prepare anything. almost as if it were yesterday:

"You idiot! It can't be tomorrow! what are you going to do if my father finds out about this?! No no no no no! I won't wear a dress as such! I read in com*cs a webto*ns that you should do quick weddings to avoid your family from finding out!"

He sighed, almost sulking at her tiring shouting, he didn't even know what she was talking about. So he just ignored everything, [She probably meant to curse me with those words (webto*n and com*cs) guessing that she was shouting them so loudly...] He gripped onto her hand and led her out through the window, "Kyaa!"

"C'mon don't you think it's way more dramatic and attractive when you jump out the window?" Antonio teased, although louise didn't think the same. She didn't even agree to that since her dress was the one that was lifting in the air, "YOU IDIOT! WHO'S DRESS DO YOU THINK IS MAKING ME ATTRACTIVE???" I shouted, I placed my hands in between my legs whilst holding antonio's hand, so the back of my butt was clear as day. [I hope no one was behind me...]

"Your Highness?"

...

"You're going to have to fix this either the easy way or the hard way..." I glowered as I pulled Antonio's ears out, he nodded while sulking and walked over to the man behind me, who seemed to be hiding (it's just her imagination) between the trees while we jumped off the 2nd floor.

Antonio waved at Louise as she moved towards the garden at his mansion, smiling brightly at her as she was leaving. As soon as louise wasn't in his radar, he turned slowly towards the servant, a glint in his eyes as he grinned, unsheathing his sword a bit, "YOU SAW SOMETHING YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO. NOW IT'S TIME YOU PAY." He smiled as he lifted his sword laughing maliciously at the trembling and shivering servant in front of him, "Y-Your majesty! Please forgive me! I swear on my mother's name that I saw nothing!"

"AND I SWEAR ON YOUR MOTHER'S NAME YOU WON'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY--"

"Antonio! I tried to look around for the garden but I couldn't find the path you talked about..?" I trailed off as I saw antonio smiling brightly, with his hands behind his back, and a shaking servant behind him that was mumbling (was actually praying) rather quickly. I raised my eyebrow in question, "What's going on here..?" I queried, Antonio smiled brightly, "Nothing. We were just having a chat, Right?" Antonio beamed a smile at the servant. The poor brunet nodded rapidly, but his expression spoke something else.

"Oooookay...Well, I'll be asking a maid for help." I replied, still suspicious of what they were doing. [I mean I did tell him to fix the situation but he must just be reprimanding the servant no harm done.] I pondered and smiled on my way out. but then I was reminded of something from Antonio's personality, he's the type of guy to kill people on the spot if they did something to..!

[Oh crap! I swear that if the servant is already dead, I'm going to kill-!]

"HUH?"

"Uh..."

"Help me..." The servant mouthed, I stood there frozen as Antonio still having his sword pointed at the kneeling servant stared at me in shock. Almost as if he hadn't expected all this. He beamed an innocent smile at louise, netherless, it wouldn't work on her. It would be the last day he would breathe on the planet he once called home.

"Goodbye world..."

"Tch. Save your last words for later, Idiot." Louise dragged him through the grass as he reached out to the sky, beautiful crystal tears slipping down his perfect and fair cheeks. "Goodbye...My love..."

...

"Ackkk! NO! PLEASE DON'T!--"
